1920년대 일본의 창조교육론에 관한 고찰

A Study on the Creative Education Theory of 1920’s in Japan

The purpose of this study is to understand the Creative Education theory of Inage Kinsichi(稲毛金七:1887-1946) in 1920’s Japan. The result is as follows; First, the needs of new middle class in 1920’s Japan are ① child-centered, ② strict discipline, and ③ scholarly competent education. Second, as it has been more than 50 year since the modern educational theory had introduced from the west, the new educational theory such as ‘Eight Educational Doctrines’ started to appear. Thirdly, Inage established an original ‘creative education theory’ based on his experience as an elementary school teacher and as an editor of educational magazine. Fourth, as he consider the Pedagogy as normative science, ‘creativity’ is the core principle of his creative education theory. He oppose not only the cramming, imitative and teacher-initiative education, but also automatical, secular and materialistic teaching.
